Edited by: Татьяна Гуринович

Michelle Obama's brother, Craig Robinson, shared insights into Barack Obama's vetting process before their marriage.

In a recent podcast appearance on Kelly Ripa's "Let's Talk Off Camera," Craig revealed he put Barack through a pickup basketball game to assess his character.

Michelle sought Craig's opinion, emphasizing the importance of sports in their family.

Craig, a former Princeton basketball star, organized a game to evaluate Barack's integrity and unselfishness on the court.

Barack passed the test by displaying good sportsmanship and teamwork.

Craig's approval was a significant step in Michelle and Barack's relationship, leading to their marriage in 1992.

Michelle also addressed recent scrutiny surrounding her marriage, clarifying that her decision to skip Donald Trump's inauguration was a personal choice, not a sign of marital discord.
